Good Morning sasmartb, I appreciate your post!

I have identified that a few possibilities as to why your Frigidaire dishwasher (FDB520RHS) will not start is due to: a potential wiring failure, damaged cord, faulty door latch assembly or control board. Before reaching out to a professional let’s try resetting your dishwasher by flipping the household circuit breaker to the off position for roughly ten minutes. Then turn on your dishwasher and confirm that the door is securely close and select a cycle. If the issue continues, at this point I would personally contact a professional to accurately diagnose your dishwasher to determine the root cause to reduce the risk of unnecessary parts. Best! – Chris
